Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick – Burl Elm Handle & Burl Birch Spacer

Handcrafted Irish Blackthorn Shank • One-of-a-Kind Burl Accents • 817g • 38+ inches

This striking piece showcases the very best of traditional Irish craftsmanship. The main shank is genuine Irish Blackthorn, renowned for its incredible density, natural strength, and iconic dark, thorny character. Blackthorn has been the preferred wood for Irish walking sticks and shillelaghs for centuries — tough, resilient, and full of personality.

The handle is carved from beautiful burl elm, displaying rich, swirling grain patterns and organic figuring that make every angle unique. A matching burl birch spacer sits elegantly between the handle and shank, adding a warm, lighter contrast that highlights the deep tones of the blackthorn and the dramatic burl elm above.
